Model Details

The Herpa Basic Scania 113M 380 Dump Truck 3-Axles (317221-002) is a detailed 1:87 scale (HO scale) model that recreates a classic Scania 113M heavy-duty construction tipper in a traditional green and red livery. As part of Herpa’s Basic range, it represents a simplified but highly recognisable workhorse truck commonly seen in European construction and civil engineering fleets during the late 20th century.

Manufactured in durable high-quality plastic, the model features the iconic Scania 113M cab design, a realistic three-axle chassis layout and a functional-style dump body. The green cab paired with a red tipping body gives it a strong, period-correct industrial appearance, making it ideal for model railway construction scenes, quarry layouts and classic road transport dioramas.

This Herpa Scania 113M dump truck model is ideal for collectors of classic Scania vehicles, construction fleets and HO scale dioramas, offering a faithful representation of one of the most iconic heavy-duty trucks of its era.

Historical Background

The Scania 3-series, including the 113M, was introduced in the 1980s as part of Scania’s highly successful heavy-duty truck range. Known for reliability, strong diesel performance and a robust chassis design, the 113M became one of the most widely used Scania models across Europe. The “113” designation referred to its 11-litre engine class, while the “M” cab represented a mid-height configuration suitable for both regional and construction work.

Three-axle dump trucks like this were essential to construction and infrastructure development, particularly in quarrying, road building and large-scale earthmoving projects. Their durability and load-carrying capability made them a common sight on industrial sites throughout the 1980s and 1990s, and they remain popular among collectors of classic commercial vehicles today.
